A film like this only comes along once a decade, if we’re lucky.

All Of Us Strangers is the type of movie that allows us to feel a mix of beautiful emotions at once, and I felt a bittersweet crescendo as the credits rolled.

It’s been five days since I saw it, and I still can’t shake the feelings this one evoked in me.

It follows Adam, a lonely screenwriter suffering writer’s block. When he meets neighbour Harry, strange occurrences begin.

Adam’s long-dead parents soon appear to him one day when he visits his family home — at the same age they were when they passed — and Adam finally gets to tell them about his life since the car accident that killed them.

As he becomes closer with Harry, the trauma he feels dissipates and he becomes more and more comfortable discussing his past. But Adam’s visions prove he may not quite be able to let go yet.

Andrew Scott is a revelation as Adam, in a quiet, haunting performance. Meanwhile, Paul Mescal represents an attractive opposite to Scott, in a role filled with mystery and spontaneity.

Jamie Bell and Claire Foy are amazing as the parents, and the fact this film was not nominated for any Oscars is truly an injustice.

Co-writer and director Andrew Haigh makes the best film of his career, and one of the best films I’ve ever seen in my life. I dare you to see All Of Us Strangers and leave unchanged.
